I started using pfSense on itx Intel-based hardware and have been quite happy with the results, though using it with modern hardware (recommended with today's faster broadband speeds) means it's usually a little pricier than most consumer devices. Now there's news that the pfSense team is working on a small, ARM-based device which sounds like it'd give Miktotik devices competition. If you can hold out a bit, it might be worth the wait.
